Today I paid a ticket for my son at the courthouse. While standing in the LOOOONG line to pay, I was able to observe a few things. Of course many will say this is just a single perspective on a single day and you are right. (News Flash: That is the title of this post).

However, my observations are revealing and I urge all of you to open your eyes and look around you. As you go through your daily life, observe the world for what it is. See the all female teaching staffs, and the (all female) administrative staffs all around you. See the (male) unemployed construction, steel, and energy workers and the (male) criminals.

While standing in line I could see the entire administrative staff of the court through glass windows. I counted 22 females working in cubicles and 1 male- whose status I would cast as "doubtful." He looked to weigh about 120 pounds and was pasty white and gaunt. His shoulders were slumped and I noticed fully 1/2 of the wildebeast females in the cubicles were larger and stronger than this guy. Some of them a LOT larger.

Then I realized I had not counted the people at the actual counter waiting on the court traffickers, and had to add 4 females to the tally. Then I realized I had not counted the security at the front of the court and had to add 1 very elderly male.

Initial tally of court Employees:

26 females / 2 males

However, our society has not completely given itself to anti-male bias. Surely the men are...SOMEWHERE...RIGHT? Well of course they are Sherlock! While I was still in line the door to the probation office opened up and out came 2 police officers leading a chain gang of 5 men, handcuffed and chained together.

Score of Court Employees Plus the Men that are prosecuted/persecuted by those court employees (and their guards):

26 Females / 9 Males

Then I realized that everybody standing in line was waiting to pay a ticket or fine imposed by the court. I counted the people standing in line at the court and there were 14 men and two women standing in line including myself.

Score of Court Employees + the Men that are prosecuted/persecuted by those court employees (and their guards) + the people who have already pled guilty and are waiting to pay their ticket:

28 Female / 26 Male

This is known as "Gender Equity." Look right there- numbers don't lie. Men and women are permitted to participate almost equally in this society.
